Reissue questions

MemberThread Starter

I did a little search on here about the Reissues and saw some gorgeous pictures! Would you, please, tell me if the leather scratches easily (I believe all of them are made of distressed lambskin?)? If it was raining, would it get stained? Overall, is it easy to take care of the Reissue?

My offwhite Reissue does not stratch easily at all...my big dog (about 20lbs) stepped all over it when the bag was placed on the backseat of the car...and it was FINE *PHEW* soooo i think its really strong!
Rain....its MUCH better than lambskin...I wouldn't mind it in gentle rain. But for some reason on the interior flap it got a ink or something stain *no idea how it get there* But the exterior is super easy to take care of

Does anyone know if limited edition reissues are still available in stores (the ones with 2.55 - 2005 stamp inside)? I am looking for a 226 in Black (with gold hardware, of course). Also, does anyone know how many of those were made, since they were limited edition? And if I owned one and decided to sell it later on, would this bag be a good investment?

My gray reissue was a return at the store and It had some scratches from nails in the interior flap. I used applegarde conditioner and it temporarily went away. I kept reapplying but the scratches came back. Then I experimented and put a teensy bit of lubriderm on my fingertip, barely visible, and the scratches DISSAPEARED FOR GOOD. That was so many months ago. I can't even tell where the scratches were. My black doesnt have a scratch on it and I use it a lot.
